Proposta de testes para serious games voltados ao condicionamento físico e reabilitação com aplicação no jogo GiroJampa

Abstract

This work explored the comprehensive implementation of automated unit tests in the game GiroJampa, using the NUnit framework along with the Coverlet code coverage tool. The tests were extensively applied after refactoring the game’s classes, which allowed for a better understanding of the development flows and preparation of the game scripts for testing. The automated unit tests, written in C#, covered everything from fundamental operations to complex flows. The reassessment of the code and untested parts was based on the coverage percentage of GiroJampa classes, calculated by the ratio of lines covered by tests to the total lines of code in the game. The results highlight significant test coverage in the refactored classes, which showed greater test coverage than the non refactored classes. The implementation of automated unit tests in the game GiroJampa proved to be advantageous, bringing significant improvements to the development process. These tests provided quick and efficient problem identification and facilitated code review and correction. Additionally, they served as a dynamic documentation of the system, simplifying its understanding and maintenance. As a result, confidence in the stability and continuous evolution of the game increased, ensuring that new functionalities could be integrated without compromising existing ones. Thus, automated unit tests proved essential for the quality and sustainability of GiroJampa development. For future work, it is valid to create more test cases for the classes that were not refactored, as well as to explore more code coverage reporting tools. Therefore, this work contributes to the literature in the field of automated unit test development and construction for games in Unity environments.
